From Lisbon: Royal Palaces, Surfing Coast & Coastal Cliffs

Experience the Royal North & Atlantic Soul Escape the crowded tourist trails for a day of royal grandeur and rugged coastal charm. We begin at the Palácio de Queluz, the "Portuguese Versailles," where 18th-century Rococo elegance sets a sophisticated stage. From there, we journey to the monumental Palace of Mafra to marvel at its legendary library—a hidden gem guarded by a colony of tiny bats. Deepen your connection to local heritage at the Aldeia de José Franco, a hand-sculpted miniature village where we’ll pause to "break bread" with warm, wood-fired Pão com Chouriço. Finally, breathe in the salt air of Ericeira, Europe’s first World Surfing Reserve. Our small-group format grants us exclusive access to the narrow, blue-and-white alleys where large buses are forbidden, letting you discover the most authentic fishing village in Portugal. This is a journey through history, tradition, and the untamed Atlantic—refined, rugged, and perfectly relaxed.
